Trump is gonna get impeached???!? what the fuck??!?!? okay this is what I understand is happening:

house democrats catch wind of a whistleblower claiming trump is trying to set up a deal with the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, to investigate joe biden and his son, hunter biden's activities in the country in exchange for military aid. this is textbook corruption and basically what got rod blagojevich in prison.

pelosi, who had been blocking impeachment forever, suddenly allows the process.

trump releases a summary of a call with Volodymyr that he says exonerates him but is a smoking gun lol. here's the good bit:

I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that’s really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what’s happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it. It sounds horrible to me.

it's not even a transcript! this is an edited summary! were there so many crimes that they weren't able to erase them all and left some in? lmao

and now there is constant mattering, developments on the case, people about the step down, etc. etc. it fucking rules

there's definitely tons of stuff around that could have taken down trump and I have theories about why this is the first one to really stick. I think there's an open and shut element to it, as well as the fact that he's weaponizing an instance where Biden used connections to get his son a job. all politicians do these kind of things, it's why they are politicians, and he's fucking with every democrat and republican by trying to

it's felt like nothing has mattered for a long time and of course things start mattering when it comes to the families and careers of the political class. trump has done countless illegal things and even more deeply immoral things but it wasn't stealing elections or ethnic cleansing that got him in trouble it's fucking with hunter biden.

anyway I try not to get too excited over these things but damn, I really think that enough senate republicans will flip over this. they can afford to lose an election but not their status as a political elite. maybe trump will be able to do something to prevent it but I don't know. anyway that's all I hope this helps

stay excited with me!! i've been excited for years. we're on the proper timeline for impeachment, and even though it's unlikely to come to fruition, it's still good for continuing investigations.

it's a real fucking shame that the only thing that matters is when trump hurts the other rich and powerful, but let's hope he continues.

but i have a feeling trump would step down or something before he were to get impeached. he's an extremely useful symbol of oppression and a symbol of rallying for white supremacists and that symbol would take a great blow if he was impeached.

thank you for the excellent summary

i'm still very cynical about it all but i've also taken a lot of blows in my personal life over the past four years so my perception is probably heavily colored by that
